About David
David Markowitz is a Missouri Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 35 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, ADHD, addictions, grief, bipolar issues, and family of origin concerns. He also addresses intimacy-related problems, career questions, and coping with life changes.
He uses straightforward conversation to help people understand patterns that repeat from their family of origin. Sessions focus on what is happening now and how past roles and expectations affect daily life. He mixes practical strategies with attentive listening to help people make small changes that affect relationships and mood.
His approach draws on Client-Centered methods, cognitive-behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused work, the Gottman Method for relationship concerns, and hypnotherapy when appropriate. He explains options and works on skills such as clearer communication, managing strong emotions, and organizing attention and routines for ADHD.
David brings long-term experience with grief, substance problems, anger, and issues around fatherhood and aging. He also supports people dealing with codependency, control struggles, and isolation. He helps people who are facing separation, end-of-life matters, or complicated family dynamics.
Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. People begin by describing the problem they want to change and setting practical goals. The emphasis is on steady progress through regular conversations and concrete steps.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's perspective and aims to increase self-understanding through open conversation. It helps people clarify what they want to change and make decisions that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address ADHD-related routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions in relationships and can help people notice and change interaction patterns that lead to disconnection.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed. That means the work is collaborative and can shift over time based on what helps most.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, or allow a quieter check-in during a lunch break. Some methods translate well to video or phone work, and practical CBT exercises and emotionally-focused conversations can be completed remotely. Licensed professionals can help decide which session setup best fits daily life and goals.
